[Android] Android Widget

Having a home screen widget for Android would be really nice. All other media players have one on Android so it'd be great to see that in Spotify too. It'd make things so much easier to just be able control to Spotify from your home screen instead of swiping down for the notification bar or opening the app. It's really simple functionality so please can you add it.

Hey folks, 

 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this idea in the Community.

 

We’re excited to let you know the Android Widget is back. To get listening, make sure you’re on the latest version of the app and Spotify will show in the widget menu on your device. The widget is now resizable too and some stability issues have been fixed.

I'll resubscribe when it comes back. Until then, this is a feature every other music app on Android has so I'll try out the competition.

There was literally NO reason to remove the widget, and it would take no time to reintroduce since it was already there just add it back. It's not that hard.

This is not a "new idea" this was a removed feature. We are paying customers, and deserve to have the features that we've been paying for. 

 

If this isn't fixed in the next month, you can add another to your growing list of cancelled subscriptions.

Absolutely **bleep**ing pathetic. Whoever ordered this change is a **bleep**ing moron. First your garbage "driving mode" that can't even display simple album art and now this?! You dumb **bleep**s are gonna make me have to switch to another service.

This is a terrible decision.

 

The Spotify widget is the ONLY widget I care about.

 

Why would this be removed? I don't understand.

 

PLEASE BRING IT BACK

I've never been so glad to have a rubbish phone with no space for updates.  Still got the widget!   However, it has gone from my older phone, which I sometimes use for playing music - very rubbish!  Other people I know are also annoyed. 

 

Please bring back the widget!

 

I am currently unsubscribed for financial reasons (a young child with huge nursery fees), but the lack of widget will make me seriously consider subscribing to a different music platform when money improves!

Good morning my ex-premium friends! Here is some great news for today. Spotify stock has been going down, down, down for days and even looking at all those investors replies, wondering why it's going down.

 

Little do they know that Spotify just gave them the middle finger and told them to sit on it and rotate.

 

So Spotify how do you like giving the middle finger to all your investors since you gave the middle finger to all us customers. Bet you love losing BILLIONS! Enjoy the sell-off of your crappy stock for your crappy decisions.


FlynancialAnalyst  $SPOT likely further downside to 125.00 and lower weekly BB. I am still holding common. Weekly volume was below average

FlynancialAnalyst $SPOT Trying my best to remain patient here.

JesseLivermre4th  $SPOT I wouldn’t buy more until she settles down

I like how the stock price was going up a bit, and then on Monday the 19th just starts dropping.

I just don't get what was the point in removing it? It was already there, and then it was removed. What's the benefit for anyone?
